Cloning and Expression Analysis of a Gene Encoding for Ascorbate Peroxidase and Responsive to Salt Stress in Beet (Beta vulgaris).

ABSTRACT: BvpAPX is a full-length cDNA-encoding peroxisomal ascorbate peroxidase isolated from leaves of salt-stressed beet (Beta vulgaris) plants. A high level of identity has been reported between the deduced amino acid sequence of BvpAPX and other known ascorbate peroxidases. The genomic sequence of BvpAPX revealed a gene composed of 5 exons and 4 introns. Several sequence motifs revealed in the 5'UTR region of the gene confer to BvpAPX a putative responsiveness to various abiotic stresses. We determined the effect of salt stress on BvpAPX expression in leaves of the cultivated beet varieties, Huzar and Janosik, and their wild salt-tolerant relative B. vulgaris ssp. maritima. Plants were subjected to salt stress during a 32-day culture period (long-term salt treatment). An alternative salinization protocol consisted of an 18-h incubation of detached beet leaves in media supplemented with toxic salt concentrations (short-term salt treatment). RT-Q-PCR analysis revealed that BvpAPX expression markedly increased in leaves of plants subjected to conditions of long-term treatment with salinity, whereas BvpAPX transcript levels remained unaffected in detached leaves during short-term salt treatment. In addition, several leaf redox system parameters, such as ascorbate peroxidase activity or ascorbic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and lipid hydroperoxide concentration, were determined in the leaves of beet plants subjected to salt stress conditions.

Project description:The continuous increase of saline-alkali areas worldwide has led to the emergence of saline-alkali conditions, which are the primary abiotic stress or hindering the growth of plants. Beet is among the main sources of sugar, and its yield and sugar content are notably affected by saline-alkali stress. Despite sugar beet being known as a salt-tolerant crop, there are few studies on the mechanisms underlying its salt tolerance, and previous studies have mainly delineated the crop's response to stress induced by NaCl. Recently, advancements in miRNA-mRNA network analysis have led to an increased understanding of how plants, including sugar beet, respond to stress. In this study, seedlings of beet variety "N98122" were grown in the laboratory using hydroponics culture and were exposed to salt stress at 40 days of growth. According to the phenotypic adaptation of the seedlings' leaves from a state of turgidity to wilting and then back to turgidity before and after exposure, 18 different time points were selected to collect samples for analysis. Subsequently, based on the data of real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) of salt-responsive genes, the samples collected at the 0, 2.5, 7.5, and 16 h time points were subjected to further analysis with experimental materials. Next, mRNA-seq data led to the identification of 8455 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEMs) under exposure to salt stress. In addition, miRNA-seq based investigation retrieved 3558 miRNAs under exposure to salt stress, encompassing 887 known miRNAs belonging to 783 families and 2,671 novel miRNAs. With the integrated analysis of miRNA-mRNA network, 57 miRNA-target gene pairs were obtained, consisting of 55 DEMIs and 57 DEMs. Afterwards, we determined the pivotal involvement of aldh2b7, thic, and δ-oat genes in the response of sugar beet to the effect of salt stress. Subsequently, we identified the miRNAs novel-m035-5p and novel-m0365-5p regulating the aldh gene and miRNA novel-m0979-3p regulating the thic gene. The findings of miRNA and mRNA expression were validated by qRT-PCR.

Project description:Main conclusionThis study identified seven histone acetyltransferase-encoding genes (HATs) from Beta vulgaris L. (sugar beet) genome through bioinformatics tools and analyzed their expression profiles under salt stress. Sugar beet HATs are phylogenetically divided into four families: GNAT, MYST, CBP, and TAFII250. The BvHAT genes were differentially transcribed in leaves, stems, and roots of B. vulgaris salt-resistant (Casino) and -sensitive (Bravo) cultivars under salt stress. Histone acetylation is regulated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs), which catalyze ɛ-amino bond formation between lysine residues and acetyl groups with a cofactor, acetyl-CoA. Even though the HATs are known to participate in stress response and development in model plants, little is known about the functions of HATs in crops. In sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), they have not yet been identified and characterized. Here, an in silico analysis of the HAT gene family in sugar beet was performed, and their expression patterns in leaves, stems, and roots of B. vulgaris were analyzed under salt stress. Salt-resistant (Casino) and -sensitive (Bravo) beet cultivars were used for gene expression assays. Seven HATs were identified from sugar beet genome, and named BvHAG1, BvHAG2, BvHAG3, BvHAG4, BvHAC1, BvHAC2, and BvHAF1. The HAT proteins were divided into 4 groups including MYST, GNAT (GCN5, HAT1, ELP3), CBP and TAFII250. Analysis of cis-acting elements indicated that the BvHAT genes might be involved in hormonal regulation, light response, plant development, and abiotic stress response. The BvHAT genes were differentially expressed in leaves, stems, and roots under control and 300 mM NaCl. In roots of B. vulgaris cv. Bravo, the BvHAG1, BvHAG2, BvHAG4, BvHAF1, and BvHAC1 genes were dramatically expressed after 7 and 14 days of salt stress. Interestingly, the BvHAC2 gene was not expressed under both control and stress conditions. However, the expression of BvHAG2, BvHAG3, BvHAG4, BvHAC1, BvHAC2 genes showed a significant increase in response to salt stress in the roots of cv. Casino. This study provides new insights into the potential roles of histone acetyltransferases in sugar beet.
